About Van Buren Drive-In Theatre and Swap Meet

Van Buren Drive-In Theatre and Swap Meet in Riverside combines two classic Americana experiences: catching a flick under the stars and hunting for deals across a sprawling outdoor market. This isn’t your typical indoor antique mall—it’s a genuine drive-in swap meet where vendors set up across the grounds, and you can browse between movie showings or make it a full day outing. The venue trades on nostalgic charm and draws a mix of regulars and casual browsers looking for everything from collectibles to everyday finds. Parking is straightforward since you’re already in a drive-in lot, and the outdoor, open-air setup means weather matters—come prepared for sun, wind, or occasional rain depending on the season. It’s a uniquely Riverside experience that captures the old-school flea market vibe with entertainment built in.
